November 29, 2007 - An Anne Arundel County family has filed a lawsuit against Maryland's largest power company claiming that a leaky coal-ash waste landfill contaminated their neighborhood's drinking water.
At a news conference this afternoon in Gambrills, Gayle K. Queen, an education counselor, said her husband, David, died of suspicious kidney failure last year after unknowingly drinking water laced with lead, arsenic and other pollutants.
"The people in this neighborhood are anxious every day if the water they drink every day is safe or toxic," said one of her attorneys, Wayne Curry, former Prince George's County executive. "It's a porridge of hazardous chemicals being inflicted on these residents."
